Local Schools Receive Exxon Mobil Grants

Several local schools have received $500 grants from the Exxon Mobil Education Alliance Program to support the schools' science and math programs. Representatives from Parker Oil Co., Inc. worked with school officials to secure the grants, which were made possible by funding from the Exxon Mobil Corporation.

"These schools have worked hard to make learning interesting and fun," said Jerry Moore, a representative of Parker Oil Co., Inc. "As an Exxon retailer, we are proud to help the young people of the South Hill and Mecklenburg County communities."
